“Excessive device use among children has grown more common in recent years
as busy parents turn to screens to find some peace.”

The evil of this part is really profound.  Do you think the tech oligarchs
who ban their kids from using tablets and limit screen time to 1.5 hours
per week are doing the hard work of parenting their young kids
themselves???  Of course not, they have a legion of nannies, babysitters
and private tutors to do it for them.

Meanwhile, the working class (blue collar and white collar) live in an
increasingly stratified economy with no rest, no letup, no time to spend
with their children.  Salaried workers put in 50, 60, 70 hours per week,
often bringing their work home.  Hourly workers, tradesmen, people in
retail put in countless hours of overtime.  Nobody gets any paid vacation
to speak of because of the laws of this shithole country, no sick time, no
personal time—and both parents must work full time or have a half dozen
side gigs just to afford to maintain a middle class standard of living.

So what happens?  Parents are all hustle, hustle, hustle all the time and
they don't have the time or focus to be able to spend on their kids, who
especially when they are young, need constant engagement and a lot of
attention.

So these same ultracapitalists who engineered this subsistence
hamster-wheel hustle economy then provide you with the answer:  “here, just
stick these highly addictive tablets and video games in the kid's faces! 
That way you will get a moment's peace.  Sure, it will rot their brains,
that's why I'm not giving that shit to my kids.”

The increasing diversity, alienation and rising mental illness all
compounds this problem.  In the bad old days of the last robber baron era,
parents who slaved long hours in the factory or on farms would simply turn
their kids loose to roam free in the countryside or in the
neighborhood—where they would develop more-or-less natually without
parental supervision.  But with the rise of mentally ill perverts, homeless
subhumans and every other type of antisocial freak, and the breakdown of
social structures and homogeneous, high-trust communities, parents don't
even feel safe letting their kids walk out the front door. 

So again, they put the little screen in front of them just to keep them
safe.  

Everything about this stinking hellhole the Jews and tech oligarchs have
created sucks, the entire thing needs to be pulled down in fire and blood.
